The pub is found in Birmingham, West Midlands, B5 6AH.

Friendly backstreet pub in Barford Street in the Highgate area, which often stocks Stanway beers. Other guests from microbreweries and a regular mild make it worth a visit. Large function room at the back is called Lillie Langtry's.

We have visited this pub 11 times, seen 26 different beers and tried 15 of them.
